It is clear from above that both Judge Grubbs and Judge Brantley had very prominent legal careers and were highly regarded assets to the Cobb County justice system. However, at some point in their golden years, in their respective retirement tenures as Senior Judges, they appear to have waivered and fallen from their pedestal foundations built on principles into a pool of self sabotage, like unsuspecting hobbits clasping tightly to the Ring of Power. But for what? The most obvious answer reigns supreme: Money. Understanding how judges are paid sheds more light on the matter than is palatable. | It is clear from above that both Judge Grubbs and Judge Brantley had very prominent legal careers and were highly regarded assets to the Cobb County justice system.

Elected judges serve four year terms and must be re-elected by a majority of the voters within their county if they wish to remain on the bench. Thus, their job depends on the voters and, in turn, campaign donations. The end result: ''Full-Time elected Superior Court judges cater to their campaign donors.'' In other words, campaign donors and political supporters get preferential treatment and favorable results in cases regardless of the actual facts. The following chart illustrates how campaign donations influence a full-time judge's decisions: | Full-time Superior Court judgeships in the State of Georgia are '''salaried''' positions that are paid with State tax dollars and often times subsidized by the county in which they preside.
